New description:
0) Add support for FreeBSD later than 6.x
1) Explicitly add SAGE_LOCAL to the dependency search path for matplotlib
for FreeBSD - superceded by #9202
2) gcc-4.3 on FreeBSD (though not the base gcc4.2) appears to define
putchar() in <stdio.h> in a way that breaks the putchar() definitions
inside ttconv. It's not immediately clear what the problem is (since
there's no immediately obvious difference in the way putchar() is defined
in <stdio.h>) so this patch takes
the easy way out and undef's the offending putchar() macro - no longer
needed with gcc-4.5
3) Individual character bounding boxes in AFM files do not have to be
integral so convert each bounding box to a list of floats, rather than a
list of ints. This corrects a problem where most of the tests would fail
with "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '539.621'" on
FreeBSD - now integrated into matplotlib
